Tantum ergo sacramentum
Veneremur cernui:
Et antiquum documentum
Novo cedat ritui:
Præstet fides supplementum
Sensuum defectui.
Down in adoration falling,
Lo! the sacred Host we hail;
Lo! All ancient forms excelling,
Newer rites of grace prevail;
Faith for all defects supplying,
Where the feeble senses fail.
The Blessed Sacrament is placed on the altar of repose.
